Food

In our kitchens, we focus on fresh and simple ingredients. We always have.

Fresh, simple and thoughtfully prepared: It’s our philosophy of food. Since the beginning, we’ve been hand preparing delicious food in our kitchens because, well, it’s how we’ve always done it.

We’re All About Chicken:

What does the “A” in Chick-fil-A stand for?

  • Grade A quality

We use 100 percent whole breast meat with no added fillers or hormones, and by the end of 2019, no antibiotics – ever.

Our Chicken Sandwich recipe was created by our Founder Truett Cathy, and it hasn’t changed in more than 50 years. How do we make a Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich?

In Our Own Kitchens:

  1.  We dip the chicken in a milk-and-egg wash (just like Truett’s mom taught him as a boy).
  2.  Then, we bread it by hand.
  3.  Finally, we pressure cook the chicken in 100 percent, fully refined peanut oil for a juicy flavor.

Our pickles? They are sliced from cucumbers, then soaked for three full days before finally making it onto your Chicken Sandwich.

Say “Hello” to Our Salads:

  • Our salads are made of whole vegetables and fruit that are delivered fresh to the restaurant and hand-chopped throughout the day. No iceberg here, just romaine and baby greens.
  • Our salads and wraps are made fresh throughout the day.
  • The Broccolini® in our Superfood Side comes from Salinas, California, also known as the “salad bowl of the world.” It’s grown by Mann’s, the only supplier of Broccolini® in the United States.

 

 

Life Handed Us (Actual) Lemons:

  • Our lemonade is made from only the necessary ingredients: Water. Sugar. And of course, lemons.
  • We are the largest U.S. purchaser of Sunkist® lemons.
  • Our lemonade is a great source of vitamin C – 45 percent of your daily intake to be exact.
  • We make 6.5 million gallons of lemonade each year!
  • It takes 1,000 farmers, 60,000 lemon trees and 30,000 farm workers to help grow the lemons for our lemonade.
